I thought the new Chatterbox is more of a “hum, okay, sure” instead of a “meh.” In other words, I feel like it is almost exactly like the one in Highland Park. I’ve been three or four times now at various times of day and it always seems filled up. They’re doing something right.
Various Perkins, Denny’s, and McDonald’s always seem filled up and while they are offering an all-around product that is average, I can’t say that I would ever give them anything more than a “meh”. That said, being that the TCBC are very in tune with the goings on in the Twin Cities’ breakfast world, I would give their review of any particular restaurant serving breakfast a little more weight than the casual breakfast diner who may be filling a chair at any one of the Chatterbox’s locations.
YMMV.
